ZFS is really nice. If VMware was supported on Solaris 86 then I

You know the inverse is true right? Solaris is supported on
VMWare ESX(i). Though SATA disks are not officially supported
by the VMFS file system in 3.x.
I wanted Solaris as the Host OS so it could natively manage my disks
via ZFS. Making it a guest would be pointless. Underneath that I would
run a couple of smaller Linux instances (eg for internet facing services),
maybe a Windows instance and so on.
Have you looked at virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org/)?
I haven't tried it myself but it looks like a match for vmware and can be
hosted on solaris.
